Hey Kevin. Thanks heeps and gobs . . . . . . for the video of the Kenmore Combo. This is the first time I have ever had a chance to see a Kenmore or Whirlpool combo in operation. And I am VERY impressed with it. I have a '59 Philco/Bendix, and enjoy using it. Great video!!!! Thanks again...

Unbelievable!!! I did not know that GE had a combo in 1955. What a wonderful restoration!!!!! You should be proud of yourself. I was much impressed. The first combo I had any dealings with was the Bendix Duomatic (1956) just like the one sitting beside your GE. That was an interesting...

Fascinating reading . . . Thank you Robert, Jetcone, Nate . . . and everyone else who made this letter possible. I loved reading about the first Frigidaire and Bendix from the horse's mouth, as it were. A piece of our history which should be preserved. Bendix had its faults, but it sure...

I have had one problem . . . . . . with my gas fired F&P top load dryer when it quit heating. I found a repairman locally who knew his stuff about F&P, and he found a part on the heater unit that had quit working. As far as I know, it was one of the electronic pieces. He ordered a new part...

I had an . . . . . . older Splendide washer/dryer in a camper. It gave trouble free service for 11 years. Good washing, fast spin . . . the only problem was the drying. Since the tub was small, things tended to wrinkle. It got fried when there was an electrical problem in the camper. The...

I have a F&P . . . . . . Intuitive Eco washer and top load dryer that I bought new in 2006. They are great machines and I have had 8 years of trouble free service from them. The washer has the agitator instead of the disc. I like the agitator much better. I cleans really well and can handle...

I used mine yesterday . . . . . . these machines are great fun to use. Mine appears to be the same as the one pictured. I never noticed which way the spirals on the agitator turn, but it appears that this one and mine are the same. I do not have a filter. It is amazing how well it rinses...

Very good basic machine. There was no suspension in this machine, therefore it had to be bolted to the floor so as not to "walk" when spinning. I'm not a Kenmore/Whirlpool fan, but I'm guessing this was among the first if not THE first of their automatics. Jerry Gay

YES . . . . . . I have one. And I think it's one of the first because there are two dials on the front, one for water temp and the other for the timer. We plugged it in and it ran . . . even the dials lit up. But in a few seconds it started smoking. Hans panicked and unplugged it. I...

Beautiful!!! Chris, your work is amazing. Can't wait to see it running. Jerry Gay

I have a friend . . . . . . in Florida who bought two of the washers. They are workhorses. Wash large loads beautifully. I don't know about repairing the agitator, but I would imagine replacements are available. Jerry Gay

F&P is still . . . . . . offered at my dealer in North Carolina. It's a mom and pop type store that sells only appliances. But the big box stores such as Lowes and Home Depot do not display F&P. However, I understand F&P can be ordered. I've been told that F&P no longer offers the top load...

The first . . . . . . GE filter-flo washer was in 1956. It had one round dial on the right of the backsplash. To the right of the dial were four buttons: Off, Hot, Warm, and Water Saver. The dial and buttons were light green in color. The Water Saver was if you were washing a small load...

To answer Logixx's question . . . . . . about adding softener to the rinse: If you add softener (which I do not), the machine has a "softener" rinse whereby it rinses in deep water instead of the spray rinse. One simply sets the controls to "softener rinse." F&P have thought a great deal...

I am delighted . . . . . . to see that F&P have kept the agitator on their top load machine. I have a 7 year old F&P Intuitive machine that has been wonderful. No problems whatsoever. Lots of automatic cycles, but very easily accepts changes in program. There's even a cycle to operate as a...

I am into 7 . . . . . . years with my F&P (I think it is 7 years) Intuitive and have had no problems whatsoever with it. As we speak, it's washing a load of six sheets and pillow cases. The agitator is wonderful and can handle large and small loads. The machine senses the fabric type and...

When the Neptune . . . . . . first came out, I talked with a woman at Maytag telling her that if the washer had a window so I could watch it, I'd buy one immediately. She told me that the door had sound insulation to make the machine run quietly and that there would be no windows. I did NOT...

Sometime ago . . . . . . my salesman told me that F&P were going to discontinue the top load dryer because they would not be able to comply with the new fire rules. Jerry Gay
